i think this is really unfair that some people get the maps and others don't, just because they live in a different part of the world, it should be accessible to anyone with MICROSOFT POINTS instead of buying a game lots might not want.
i am one of these people, i do not want halo wars, i downloaded the demo and did not find it impressive, but if i want the maps i have to buy it? or wait until everyone else has it and then we get it? its not really fair. we are also aware that there are another 20 odd achievements linked to the mythic maps, bungie said the first 1000 people to get all the vidmasters will receive recon armor, but this isn't fair because allot of people can get these maps, and one of the challenges is to find all skulls on these maps, completely unfair!
i was buying all the maps, i bought heroic (when they were worth points and now they made them free? i payed money and didn't get a refund, and they make them free?) i bought cold storage (again worth money, but bungie make them free, well there's £10 i will never get back! and the legendary maps i bought, and bungie will probably make them free too? i WASTED allot of money on halo 3, and because we don't get the maps without buying a game not appealing to some people we cant get them, so i wont be playing halo 3 anymore, or spending any money on it, congratulations bungie I QUIT AND I HOPE OTHERS DO TOO becuase i know im not the only one that isnt happy with this desicion, get back to me people at

Actually, Cold Storage was always free. And as for the Heroic, Legendary and Mythic maps, if you want them early you must pay. Sure the Heroic maps became free, but that was about 3 months after they first shipped.

Today, I realized that Halo 3 is like a drug.
It alters your mind into thinking it is such a great game but in the deep confines of your sub-conscience you know that this game is not great. And as you play you begin more and more to hate it, and scream at the top of your lungs, and threaten to break your copy of this over-hyped, overrated, video game. You scream "Bull-blam!-!" until your lungs are on the verge of collapsing. You come to the brink of entering an emotional break-down, and cry. You despise this game, you cannot stand it, but for some reason you continue to play game after dreadful game full of the same bull-blam!- you just were subject to for the past 6 hours. You continue to play until you decide you have had enough (just for now). You stop to play another game in hopes to calm yourself down and maybe gain some confidence. Then you go back and you find yourself in the same place as before; pissed off, screaming, and about to snap that lousy piece of plastic into a thousand tiny shards of bull-blam!-. You decide to quit for the night, but as you lay in your bed you cant stop thinking about Halo. It itches your nerves and pokes at your mind as you try to dose off, but the sickening effect of this game is just too persistent. So you put on some headphones and fall asleep so that you can wake up the next morning to witness yet more misery. You don't actually want to play, but somehow, some way you end up playing. You cant help yourself. You cant stop playing this miserable game; this game that you despise. It eats on your brain and deteriorates your soul. You continue to play and play and play. You receive more and more bull-blam!- than ever. You step into an emotional breakdown--you get angered. You cant force yourself to throw your controller so you throw something else. It hits the wall, but that just isn't enough to satisfy your Halo inspired rage. You stand up out of your chair smashing the open button on your console you pick up the disk and almost go to break it, but no--NO! You cannot put yourself to it. You couldn't waste this game. But you want to so bad. You want to see that piece of plastic shattered about your floor, but its not gonna happen today. You place your Halo 3 disk back in its respective tray, and close it. You promise to yourself that you wont get mad this time. You say that you just want to have fun and cool out. But is that even possible? You don't know, you just keep on playing the game. Trying not to get pissed off, but you do get pissed off. Very pissed off. Pissed off enough to get up and do what you did previously, but instead of placing that disk back where it was, you stare at it. You think about how much you hate it, and how much it has controlled you and altered and changed you. You begin to become furious. Then it happens. The thing you have so long waited for. The moment when the strain is released from your mind. You snap and so does that worthless piece of plastic you are holding. You begin to pull at it and bend it and snap it. You feel more and more satisfaction as it breaks more and more until you throw it to the ground. But if that wasn't enough you proceed to smash and punch the almighty "Collectors Edition" case to malformed tin scrap. You are in shock for a brief moment. Then you realize that all your worries are gone. Your life has instantaneously turned around, for the better.
This is what happened to me today.
And i just want to say
"-blam!- you Bungie!
You are all -blam!- ups!
I wish you all were -blam!- dead!
-blam!- you!
-blam!- you!
-blam!- you!"
Have a nice day knowing that some -blam!- 16 year old has just obliterated your piece of -blam!- game. Although you all don't care about one little game, because you sold millions of these -blam!-s didn't you?!?!?! Oh well. I feel better about my life now that Halo 3 is out of it!
I cant believe my mind was so weak to have been caught in the trap we all know as Halo!
Who ever is reading this should know that they shouldn't let themselves be trapped like i was!
Its not worth it!
Just stop playing now!
The most sad thing is, this game has made me contemplate thoughts of suicide!
What the -blam!-!
That's -blam!- up!
What was I thinking?!?!!?
Oh well, that era in my life is over!
Good -blam!- riddance!
-blam!- you Bungie!

I would first like to comment on the intelligent wording of this update. It's nice to see that Bungie has hired such a scholarly writer for such. Something that is quite rare among companies. Mythic looks great so far. The Halo Wars demo, though addicting and short on the learning curve side, might have to be passed up due to my untimely drained bank account with this recession. Also, is it bad to slightly look down on Halo Wars due to it not being released by Bungie? Quit possibly.... Either way, I will do unthinkable things come time for Mythic if need be. I just need one of those Brute Pimp's cell numbers..... (cringing)

Dear Bungie,
I don't really know where to post this but here goes.This is in reference to the player who you banned in your last weekly post for asking for recon. Is this not a bit much? Sure you may have heard that question countless times but perhaps the gamer in question didn't know the rule for saying the forbidden "R" word. I personally think its a bit over the top to ban a possibly new player for commiting an offence of such an innocent nature. Buying your game can cost quite a lot of money for some people and i don't beleive that giving them an online suspension is an adequate "thank you". Please consider my argument and refrain from possible bans in the future.
Yours Sincerly,
Random Angry Gamer.

I dont forge much but i do loke to tinker with things on maps. I am i no way a map builder like most of you guys, but i am interested in seein whats new in forge. Oh and I will get to see when i get my HALO WARS LE disk very soon!

Look at all these bnet kids. To all bnet kids, Stop going to this site and start going to MLGpro.com AS IT IS A MUCH BETTER SITE THAN THIS. You will finally hear the terms "Professional Gaming" you can guys can learn much more at MLG than here, just come hear for the -blam!- updates I don't care, but then after wards go back to MLGpro.com....All the updates bungie (that's right I said "b"ungie with a lowercase letter as it does not deserve the respect of capital "B") gives are crappy anyways, they just talk about the ODST game that no one is going to buy because it sucks and they're also smart-a$ses to people which is very rude, you might say right now I'm being rude. You're right I am, but it is only to bungie because they are rude people to other kids that ask questions that don't get answered truthfully or respectfully, instead they say the answer in a jokingly way that is stupid thus not answering the kid's question, specifically Lukems and Shishka, you guys need to make a better game in order to start actually joking around. Look at what happened to Halo 3 when you joke around a lot, IT SUCKS, and yet you guys still have the gull. Okay in closing, crappy.net kids, go remember to go to www.MLGpro.com to get better, find new tricks and tips and just overall better forums as well, instead of crappy threads like "What is your favorite gun?" lol WTF? that is stupid.

Well, this made me a little happier since last weeks update. I honestly can't wait for Sandbox.. I just hope there's a way to make it even a tad bigger, seeing that it's only 1.8 times bigger than foundry, roughly.
Even if you can't, you said yourselves it's nothing like anything you've ever made before, so that must mean it's got a hell of a lot more things than Foundry did. If it doesn't, then shame on you.
